MC's career as foreign lord

“Let's go!” Zhou Ren said, leading Mossa away. With a wave of his hand, Mossa led the way with the bags, leaving the mercenary group behind in their contemplation.

For Zhou Ren, this might have been a casual act. He greatly admired Werner's style—once given, it was given. After all, it wasn't anything important.

The mine was already producing raw copper and iron. In the future, minerals might be like money to him now—a dispensable number.

But for the mercenaries, this was a major event that could change their lives. Perhaps they couldn't see it now, but who knew what the future held?

Werner watched Zhou Ren's departing figure intently. His subordinates asked, “Captain, where should we go now?”

He waved his hand. “I heard the Soyas Mercenary Group has come to Pine Leaf Town. Let's visit my teacher!”

His gaze was deep and mysterious. “Don’t you all want to become professionals?”

Werner spoke these words with unusual conviction. Zhou Ren was willing to invest in him, and weren't the brothers around him the ones who had followed him for several years? Why couldn't he trust them?

“Let’s go! We’ll head back to town first!” he said, waving his hand. The sharp sword in his hand even cut through the air!

On the way, Mossa told Zhou Ren about his experiences. As a lich who had been detached from society for a long time, Mossa was genuinely curious about the current state of affairs.

“They are very different from a long time ago. Back then, the elves were even more arrogant than dragons. They called themselves an eternally immortal race, ruling everything on the continent!” Mossa said, “Just like me!”

“There should have been gods back then, right?” Zhou Ren asked curiously, “And you were still so arrogant?”

“Other races had gods, and we had them too!” Mossa said. “The elves were incredibly powerful at the time. Corellon Larethian was one of the strongest chief gods!”

But he sighed again. “Unfortunately, under the influence of some invisible forces, the elves' civil war finally broke out!”

Mossa's expression was deep and mysterious. “And the mastermind behind all of this was actually the gods themselves!”

“Then did you come back this time for revenge?” Zhou Ren asked, wanting to clarify in case he woke up one day and was at odds with the world.

Mossa shook his head. “During the First Crown War, most of the elves thought so, but… after experiencing the Second Crown War, it wasn't like that anymore!”

“The Crown War is an endless civil war for the elves! At that time, the elves were unimaginably powerful. Relying on Yggdrasil, we planted the saplings of war trees and trees of life everywhere. Countless legendary powerhouses guarded all directions. In such an environment, even true gods might not be able to fight us!”

Mossa's eyes lit up. “It's a pity that we didn't know what arrogance was back then. One Crown War turned the continent upside down, and the main material plane was shaken! Corellon Larethian had to personally step in to clean up the mess for us!”

“Seeing his children fighting like this, he probably didn't feel good either!” Zhou Ren said. “And then you became a lich?”

“Yes! Then I joined Lord Vecna's lich army and went to countless planes to fight, also leaving some seeds for the elves in case they were destroyed!” Mossa said. “But now I am somewhat gratified that they have finally found a way to survive!”

“No wonder the current elves have almost no pride and can talk to us and communicate with us in a peaceful state of mind. This is the progress of the race!” Zhou Ren exclaimed. He thought of Princess Sia again, who didn't have any shortcomings at all.

“But why are dragons completely different?” Zhou Ren continued to ask. He thought of Anna, the little dragon, whose arrogance and recklessness were almost written on her face.

“Dragons!” Mossa shook his head. “Master, you don't know, the arrogance of dragons is almost written in their bones. Silver dragons are the most restrained… If you encounter other metal dragons or even chromatic dragons in the future, they will let you know what it means to be furious!”

Zhou Ren was curious. “They are so arrogant, won't they be beaten?”

“Of course, from the Dragon Wars of the past to the Age of Fire, it was ultimately because these big guys were too arrogant and the wars that they made with the gods. Giants are all descendants of gods!” Mossa said, “Even now, aren't there still many rumors of dragon slaying?”

“The dragon who is born a legend, it seems that the defect is in the personality!” Zhou Ren said, “You will know when she comes, now let’s put the pigs and rabbits in a temporary place first!”

The temporary place was the place where Zhou Ren kept the cattle and sheep at the beginning. The rabbits and pigs were placed separately and kept here for a period of time. He would slowly take care of them when he had time.

There were a total of eight pigs and ten rabbits, all of which seemed to be in pairs.

The ranch was about to expand, which was the inevitable path for his industry in the future, but pigs and rabbits eat carrots, and he didn't know if Werner had brought Zhou Ren carrot seeds?

After putting down the pigs and rabbits, Zhou Ren returned to his house. Mossa temporarily separated from him. He was going to see Jim in the mine, while Zhou Ren continued to make his dinner.

Putting the last rice ball and meat in a bowl, a very unique rice dish was freshly baked. He never tired of eating this rice, and the almost penetrating fragrance made him feel as if he could increase his satiety just by smelling it.

It was already late, and Zhou Ren always felt like he had countless things to do, but this kind of life was unexpectedly fulfilling. Without a mobile phone or the internet, he worked at sunrise and rested at sunset every day, but he was still satisfied?

He opened his book. Now he finally had a book. After mixing it with feathers on the workbench, he didn't even need to dip in ink to write in the book.

“Let me see what kind of plants Werner and the others have found for me!” Zhou Ren said, and directly opened the bulging package. The first thing that caught his eye was a row of green bamboo!

“Bamboo mod!” Zhou Ren was pleasantly surprised. Was a new mod about to appear? But thinking about it, he shook his head again. As another great proof of the official forcing the death of fanworks, bamboo already existed in the original version.

The most important thing about bamboo is that it can be used as scaffolding, which is an extremely useful temporary building block that can be used immediately after disassembly!

Moreover, as the fastest-growing plant in MC, it may grow several times a day, and it can quickly grow a lot, making it suitable for use as decoration and tools.

But Zhou Ren looked around and couldn't find the crafting table for the bamboo MOD, but he saw a lot of crafting methods for Fine Rain Pastoral. But thinking about it, it made sense. As the superior mod of Tea Wind, after the bamboo came out, it only added a few pieces of furniture.

Bamboo tables, bamboo chairs, bamboo lamps, bamboo doors – these tools made from bamboo really complement tea!

Zhou Ren thought silently that once the tea leaves matured, he could get a set of bamboo furniture specifically for drinking tea!

As for now... he took the bamboo and planted it one by one near the fish pond behind the yard, letting the bamboo block the view of the river and make the mine less conspicuous.

Among the remaining seeds, there were no more surprises, but Zhou Ren was quite happy with the appearance of a carrot. Now, of the original plant seeds, only watermelon remained to be obtained.

However, watermelons only grow in jungle biomes, which is similar to bamboo. He could ask them for clues about watermelons next time.

Thinking this, Zhou Ren wouldn't waste that large bag of flowers. He would just use them to make suspicious stew and see what kind of effects they would bring.

He casually tidied up the table, took out the single carrot seedling, casually opened up a piece of farmland next to the fish pond, and began to use bone meal to accelerate the carrot's growth.

He needed to accelerate enough seeds for tomorrow's planting, and also enough to feed the pigs and rabbits, and the cost was just a little bit of insignificant bone meal.

The bone meal was already ready to go in the compost bin he had just made, so Zhou Ren estimated that he wouldn't lack this stuff in the future, and he was using it with great joy and abandon!

Moreover, during last night's battle, Locke had people send over a lot of bones, which could be used for a long time.

As the bone meal was sprinkled, a large number of carrots were forcibly grown. Zhou Ren wanted a lot, at least three stacks.

And at most three carrots would grow at a time, and one had to be put down for planting, so he prepared two stacks of bone meal, using it all up.

Just as he was using bone meal to accelerate the growth of crops, Mossa in the cave finally found Jim, who had used up all the pickaxes, and the ground was covered with stones.

Jim clearly didn't have enough intelligence. After seeing Mossa, he tilted his head, seemingly wondering why the head he was holding earlier would move on its own.

He remembered that in the mine, he wanted to find a skeleton body for Mossa, and he was beaten for it, which was really strange.

When Mossa saw the jumping fire in the skull's head, he knew what it was thinking, and scolded with a smile: "Jim, put more of your mind on yourself, maybe you'll become enlightened?"

He looked at the stones and minerals all over the ground, and absorbed them into himself as he walked. "Jim, do you see those two big boxes?"

The skull head nodded. While the soul fire was jumping, it also focused its attention on the two big boxes, trying to touch the boxes with its bony palms, and then saw rows of storage grids appear in front of it.

"Thump!" This was the sound of closing the box.

"Click!" This was the sound of opening the box.

"Thump! Click! Thump! Click!…" This was –

Mossa was still collecting the stones on the ground when he suddenly froze upon hearing this. "Jim? What are you doing?"

He turned his head and saw that the skeleton seemed to have completely mastered the switch of the box, and was frantically opening and closing it, rhythmically saying "Thump! Click!".

"Oh!" Mossa only felt a headache. This little skeleton was too curious, and he couldn't teach it well!

"Jim, put the things on your body in, understand? Put them in!" He said, and the skeleton, which was still frantically opening and closing the box, responded and put the strange minerals on its body into it.

"Thump! Click!" Mossa suddenly turned his head and saw Jim looking at him innocently, as if he wasn't the one who had just opened and closed the box.

Mossa turned his head away, "Thump! Click!"

His heart, which hadn't reacted for a long time, seemed to suddenly beat, and he felt like he was about to be angered back to life. Forget it, forget it, he stopped looking at the other party and continued his work.

Zhou Ren was still waiting for them above, so he couldn't waste too much time down here. After cleaning up a circle, just as Mossa was preparing to take Jim up, he saw Zhou Ren's figure already pacing over.

"Go find the secretary tomorrow and have him buy me a piece of land, preferably below this passage!" Zhou Ren said, already walking up to the two of them. "Mossa, you should be able to see it, right?"

"Of course, my master!" The lich's voice was still hoarse, but it was already much better in Zhou Ren's ears, maybe he was used to it?

"By the way, go take a look at the situation in the mine over there!" Zhou Ren continued, "Even if it's not the main defense line, it's best to make some preparations. Locke said that the wilderness hasn't been normal lately!"

Mossa nodded, looked at Jim again, and hurriedly walked into the cave dug out by Jim's commanded skeletons. Under the influence of some mysterious power, it had completely turned into an MC cave, and torches had been inserted.

However, the torches weren't inserted very deep. Although the roads were all stone and looked very clean, darkness was actually a big problem for normal living beings.

However, one of the talents of the undead race was dark vision, so Mossa wouldn't have any obstacles at all and soon disappeared into the darkness.

Only then did Zhou Ren turn his attention over. After planting the carrots, he wondered what Jim had dug into, so he came down to take a look. He didn't know until he saw it!

Although the little skeleton was a bit naughty – he had seen Jim and Mossa's conversation just now – its ability to work was really amazing. The little silver light skeleton had actually hollowed out this area!

The literal meaning of hollowing out. Zhou Ren excavated the area from the stone steps he made to the cave Jim dug over, about one or two hundred blocks horizontally, but also close to one hundred blocks vertically, just right to another corner. He himself was afraid to look at the dark and deep cave.

"Jim, did you dig all this?" Zhou Ren asked, no wonder there were stones all over the ground. If the things here didn't refresh, they would have disappeared long ago.

"Click!" The skull head nodded, seeming very proud. It was very happy to do such a thing.

Zhou Ren opened the box and looked at a box of stones and a box of minerals, and suddenly understood!

No wonder Jim was opening and closing the box just now. It wasn't that he didn't know how to open it, or that he didn't know how to take it in and out, but... it was full!

A box of iron pickaxes, all gone!

Ah, last night I boasted in the group that if there were two ten-thousand-yuan rewards, I would update four chapters during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and then... ... I won't say it, I'm going to code... My holiday!!!!!!!
